32 Apps Dyslexic Students Will Love for Everyday Learning As the days of summer fun come to a close, thoughts of reading assignments, worksheets, and essays return to the forefront of many students’ minds. For students with dyslexia, work that requires reading and writing can be daunting, and it often saps the enjoyment out of school. Fortunately, more and more families and schools are discovering assistive technology (AT) and the ability it has to lessen stress and give children a greater sense of academic independence. While many schools have folded technology into the classroom, students are also increasingly using their own smartphones and tablets. This guide will give families (and teachers) information about apps that can help students with reading, writing, studying, and demonstrating their knowledge. Reading Apps Since reading is a portal to knowledge, students with dyslexia can be frustrated that difficulties decoding and understanding written words often get in the way of learning.

This Website Shows You What Reading Is Like When You’re Dyslexic A website created last week is providing a fascinating look into what some forms of dyslexia look like, and the results are a must-see. The goal is for people without dyslexia to appreciate how hard it can be to read or do math for their peers who do. The website isn't an across-the-board view of what it's like to have dyslexia, but it's an eye-opening experience to see words and letters so distorted. “A friend who has dyslexia described to me how she experiences reading. She can read, but it takes a lot of concentration, and the letters seems to 'jump around,'" the site’s introduction reads. Dyslexia is a learning difference affecting the way the brain processes written and spoken language. "When someone with dyslexia like myself says things look like they 'jump around' they do not mean it literally," they write. People who go without proper diagnosis and treatment of learning differences like dyslexia are likely to fall behind in school, but it’s absolutely not their fault.

Three Good Tools for Building Flipped Lessons That Include Assessment Tools In the right setting the flipped classroom model can work well for some teachers and students. I recently received an email from a reader who was looking for a recommendation for a tool would enable her to add an assessment aspect to her flipped lesson. Here are some tools that can accomplish that goal. eduCanon is a free service for creating, assigning, and tracking your students' progress on flipped lessons. eduCanon allows teachers to build flipped lessons using YouTube and Vimeo videos, create questions about the videos, then assign lessons to their students. Teachem is a service that uses the TED Ed model of creating lessons based on video. Knowmia is a website and a free iPad app for creating, sharing, and viewing video lessons.

Pourquoi l'Ordinateur est utile pour un Dys ? - DysNetwork Dysgraphie, Dyspraxie : Dysgraphie et dyspraxie ne permettent pas de réaliser des gestes de motricité fine. L’écriture manuelle est fatigante, douloureuse et imprécise et empêche de se concentrer sur le contenu. La manipulation manuelle est difficile. La production finale sera sale, illisible, incomplète et désordonnée. Ce que permet l’ordinateur : Écrire à l’ordi au lieu d'écrire manuellement, tracer, faire des schémas, taper des formules, des graphiques, colorier, effacer, corriger, classer… Grâce aux logiciels de traitement de texte et d’annotation de PDF, et ceux pour les mathématiques, l’élève Dys a des notes complètes et propres. Dyslexie, Dysorthographie, Dysphasie L’élève dyslexique lit lentement, se fatigue et perd vite des informations. Lecture vocale, agrandir les textes, zoomer, changer la police, surligner, corriger l’orthographe , dictée vocale, trouver des synonymes, etc... TDAH et tous troubles Dys
The Best Posts On The “Flipped Classroom” Idea Check out my two-part Education Week Teacher series on the flipped classroom here I’m a bit wary/skeptical about whole “Flipped Classroom” idea and how it works in practice. Diana Laufenberg spoke for me, also, in some of her tweets about the concept: But I’m still open to learning, and I invite your suggestions for additions to list. In the meantime, though, here are some posts that some of my questions more eloquently than I could: The Flipped Classroom: Pro and Con is by Mary Beth Hertz and appeared in Edutopia. ‘Flipping’ classrooms: Does it make sense?

Comment les technologies peuvent aider les élèves ayant des troubles d’apprentissage en lecture et en écriture Ajouter aux Favoris Par Nathalie Paquet-Bélanger L’école est un lieu où les élèves lisent pour apprendre et écrivent pour démontrer ce qu’ils ont appris. Bien qu’ayant un bon potentiel intellectuel, les élèves ayant des troubles d’apprentissage (TA) rencontrent souvent des difficultés importantes et persistantes en lecture et en écriture. Cette problématique nuit grandement à leur parcours scolaire (Alper & Raharinirina, 2006; Dexter & Hughes, 2011). Conséquemment, ils gagnent à être soutenus afin de persévérer, d’accéder au contenu scolaire de leur âge et démontrer leur plein potentiel. Les professionnels de l’enseignement jouent un rôle de premier plan, notamment dans le choix des interventions en classe et des moyens adaptatifs inscrits au plan d’enseignement individualisé. Toutefois, comment savoir si l’emploi d’un outil technologique sera efficace ? Il existe peu d’études francophones récentes sur l’impact des technologies en lecture et écriture des élèves ayant des TA. Conclusion
The Seven Best Short Animated Films for the Language Classroom - Kieran Donaghy Animated films are ones in which individual drawings, paintings, or illustrations are photographed frame by frame. Traditionally animated films have been associated with children, however, nowadays they are designed to appeal to everyone. With the increased ease of creating animations, there has been a huge rise in the number of animated films being produced, and the vast majority of these are short animations. Here are my seven favourite animated short films for the language classroom. Paperman Paperman is an Oscar-nominated short film by John Kahrs which went viral. You can watch the film below and find a full lesson plan here. Head Over Heels Head Over Heels is an Oscar-winning puppet animation directed by Timothy Reckart. To Do List To Do List is an inspiring short film by Yaniv Fridman about what we do in our everyday lives. Educate the Heart Educate the Heart is a beautiful animated film by Giant Ant inspired by a poem by Shane Koyczan. Kindness The Alphabet of Illiteracy Missing U

The Seven Best Silent Short Films for Language Teaching - Kieran Donaghy As many short films are artistic, they have limited appeal in the commercial marketplace and are funded from diverse sources. To make them easier to sell worldwide, they often contain little or no dialogue, which makes comprehension much easier. As a result, they offer intensely ‘filmic’ experiences, using images and movement, sequence and duration, sound and music to tell their stories. These silent films are perfect for the language classroom as they can be used with any level – the teacher just needs to adapt the difficulty of the task to match the level of the students. Here are the seven short films which I have found work best in the language classroom. Your Secret Your Secret is a wonderful short film by Jean-Sebastian Monzani. You can watch the film below and find a full lesson plan here. Your secret from Jean-Sebastien Monzani on Vimeo. Taking Pictures Taking Pictures is a simple but beautiful short animated film by Simon Taylor. Moments MOMENTOS from Nuno Rocha on Vimeo. Amar Five
